Maersk jack-up secures extension in the Dutch North Sea

Petrogas E&P Netherlands BV has exercised an option with Maersk Drilling to extend the current contract of the jack-up rig Maersk Resolute.

The contract extension is for one well, A15, on the Dutch continental shelf, with an expected duration of 21 days. The exercised option extends Maersk Resolute’s confirmed work scope into March 2019.

The Maersk Resolute is currently on a rig-share contract between Petrogas E&P Netherlands BV, TAQA Energy BV, and Dana Petroleum Netherlands BV.

There are now two remaining options in the contract – one with TAQA Energy BV of about 72 days, and one with Petrogas E&P Netherlands BV of approximately 90 days.
